So much crap going on right now, but us writers are too lazy to post
The Penguins ended their losing streak last night with a 5-2 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers. No matter how pathetic the Thrashers are, it felt great to get a win.
To be honest, every writer of this blog was watching Avatar as the Pens slowly got beaten down by the Florida Panthers.
Should this loss and the fact that we chose a theater showing that started halfway through the game sit heavy on our conscience?
It could, but it doesn’t

Congratulations to Brooks Orpik for being named to Team USA.
December and January are pretty exciting months for me. Obviously there is Christmas and New Years, but my birthday is also in January. This year, I couldn’t have cared less for any of those. I was anticipating Team USA’s roster more than any of these days combined. After going to bed at 5AM last night (this morning, whatever), I woke up numerous times thinking of different things. One of them being “I wonder who Burke will name captain and alternates?” Being that I wasn’t nearly sane at this time in the morning, I was unable to come up with any rational ideas.
Incase you weren’t aware, Brooks Orpik is my favorite Penguin (And basically favorite player in the entire NHL. Plus Teemu). I am unbelievably thrilled for him. I am also thrilled for the Team USA in general. Although it’s not Team Canada or Team Russia, we do have some talent. It’ll be great to watch them play.
There’s a very, very good chance by the end of February we will have some players with gold medals. What an unbelievable accomplishment it will be for any and all of them.
My Orpik jersey order goes in tomorrow.
Go Pens.
